“The worst thing about working on TV is when we shoot long
12-15 hour days. That means I'll usually have early morning call
times, which are never fun. But even that isn't that bad because I
love being on set and I love what I do. As long as you are passionate
about your job, even the worst things don't really seem that bad.”
Katrina Bowden

Actress Katrina Bowden, who is sometimes credited as Katie Bowden,
rose to fame as attractive assistant Cerie Xerox on the NBC comedy
series “30 Rock” (2006-2009), from which she picked up a
Screen Actors Guild Award. She was also voted one of Maxim's “The
Hottest Women of Fall TV '08” for her role in the show. Prior
to winning her breakout role in the series, Bowden starred in music
videos and appeared in the television series “Law & Order:
Special Victims Unit” and “One Life to Live” (both
2006).

Bowden's success on “30 Rock” has opened doors to
roles in feature films. Since her debut in “Sex Drive”
(2008), the New Jersey native has acted in “Ratko: The
Dictator's Son” and “The Shortcut” (both 2009) and
will star in the comedy “The Last Film Festival” (also
2009).

Childhood and Family:

Katrina Bowden was born on September 19, 1988, in Wyckoff, New
Jersey. She was educated at Saint Thomas More School in Midland Park,
New Jersey, and Immaculate Heart Academy, an all-girls college
preparatory private Roman Catholic high school in Washington
Township, New Jersey. An honor student, Katrina maintained good
grades while attempting to get small acting roles and modeling gigs.

Sex Drive

Career:

“Working with Fall Out Boy was really fun. They are all
really nice guys. Pete Wentz had plenty of his own eye makeup so
there was no real need for me to keep mine under close watch, but my
lip gloss was a completely different story. He only tried to bite me
once.” Katrina Bowden

Katrina Bowden began modeling in her hometown of Wyckoff, New
Jersey, while still in school. After starring in the music videos
“Dance Dance,” by Fall Out Boy, and “Good Day,”
by Jewel (both 2006), she quickly graduated to television acting with
a guest spot in NBC's “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit”
(also 2006). She then joined the cast of the ABC soap opera “One
Life to Live” (2006). However, she had to leave the show after
two episodes because of scheduling conflicts.

Bowden next won the role of Cerie Xerox, Liz Lemon's (played by
Tina Fey) laid back assistant in the NBC sitcom “30 Rock”
(2006-2009). Debuting in October 2006, the series gained success with
critics but struggled to attract viewers. However, in 2008, Bowden
was nominated for a Screen Actors Guild in the category of
Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series for her
work in “30 Rock.” She shared the honor with costars Tina
Fey, Judah Friedlander, Jane Krakowski, Jack McBrayer and Tracy
Morgan, among others. Also that year, Bowden made her film debut in
“Sex Drive,” a comedy directed and scripted by Sean
Anders. Playing Ms. Tasty in the movie, she costarred opposite Josh
Zuckerman, Amanda Crew, Clark Duke, James Marsden and Seth Green.
“Sex Drive” garnered mixed reviews from critics. 2008
also found the actress appearing in the “We Are Scientists”
video for the song “After Hours.”

Recently, Bowden and her “30 Rock” costars jointly
nabbed a 2009 Screen Actors Guild for Outstanding Performance by an
Ensemble in a Comedy Series. She also portrayed Holly in “National
Lampoon's 'Ratko: The Dictator's Son,’” opposite Blake
Anderson, Curtis Armstrong and Jeffrey Ballard. The comedy premiered
in Canada on January 10, 2009, and was released in the United States
in June. She then worked with Andrew Seeley, Shannon Woodward, Dave
Franco and Josh Emerson in the thriller “The Shortcut”
(2009), which was helmed by Nicholaus Goossen.

Bowden will be cast as a young starlet in Linda Yellen's comedy
“The Last Film Festival” (2009) and will reprise her role
of Cerie Xerox in the fourth season of “30 Rock,” which
was scheduled to begin in the fall of 2009.
